Ashitaka,
I am what you would call a "newbie" but I am going to request that you would at least judge me based on MY merits rather than basing your judgement based on a couple of "bad" apples. Thank you
ok before we get off on the wrong foot this is not a flame war.
i read a comment by belbab on hillary's post this morning...he remarked that he had asked a question after the 09/11 attack, that no one answered.
well, i didn't even remember reading it, so i did a simple search.

thought i'd share a few pics from the silentlambs vigil..i hope to have more to add from some of the others that were there.
a big thanks to lizardsnot for hosting the pics for us.. .
the candles shown lined up in the bags were some of the few request made to silentlambs.
Great pics. Does that lamb look a little like Lambchop the hand puppet. Does Sheri Lewis ring a bell with any one. Oh I almost forgot! Anybody from the Buffalo/Niagra area here?

I have just got through reading the above mentioned article and, quite frankly; I did not see an outright admission of being wrong. They came short of any admission.
hardly anyone has an honest opinion about anything of importance that wasnt craftily pre-packaged and handed to them by someone else whose job it is to craft public opinion.
the intention of the media is to present the illusion of impartially informing, all the while pandering to prejudice and ignorance in order to persuade to a particular point of view.
datelines presentation of the watchtowers child abuse issue was a case study in the black art of media propaganda.. from the very beginning of the presentation dateline was intent on giving the public a negative impression of jehovahs witnesses by portraying us all as oddball crackpots whose religion revolves around the doctrine that we dont celebrate birthdays and that all non-believers are possessed by the devil and that we want them all to die.
You Know, You've yet to answer my question.

To You Know:
I wish to pose this question to you. If Jehovah is the creator of all things then is he subject to the universal law of cause and effect? Let's say if "he" does something negative would that logically require he receive a negative effect?
i just got a copy of the society's letter to dateline as to why they would not agree to an on-camera interview.. they said that since dateline told them that most of the people that they were interviewing considered themselves active jws, that for the headquarters to make a statement that it would make it appear as though "brother" was speaking out against "brother".
and that a nationally televised program was not the appropriate forum for them to work out their differences.
(this is interesting since the pandelos and barb have been dfed, haven't they?).
I can contribute about 5 or 6 quarters, however; I will NOT wash their shitty drawers.

I guess that they did not want to have an open dialogue on this issue but as the scripture says, "YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT!!"
as of 1 pm today barb anderson was notified that she has been disfellowshipped in writing by the judicial committee in her congregation.
barb was df in absentia at a second hearing that was declared after she successfully defended herself against charges in the first hearing.
home office came back with further instructions to make it stick the second time around.
Hey Barbara,
You have the stand-alone spirit of the LION KING. Continue to ROAR!!
dateline is just 24 hours (give or take) away.
i really do expect to see a great deal of online activity as people search for more information.
jwd is likely going to be one of the most visited due to the large amount of information posted here on the subject, much by silentlambs themselves.. i also expect to see people visiting randy's excellent site as well as watchtower observer for copies of documentation,news articles, etc.
